Stopping Docker containers by image name - Ubuntu

Question

On Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) I\'m looking for a way to stop a running container and the only information I have is the image name that was used in the Docker run comma

Answer 1

You can use the ps command to take a look at the running containers:

docker ps -a

From there you should see the name of your container along with the container ID that you're looking for. Here's more information about docker ps.
